No, I just figured I knew everything there was to know about the Navy from growing up around it and wanted to try something else. Of course I did not know everything about anything and still don't. Another impetus to join the Army came from my Dad. He always told me that during a war the Navy floated the Marines and Army over, the Marines went out and did the hard stuff like clearing paths up the beach, and then the Army marched in and got all of the glory. I guess I was really looking for that glory
